SHANE NEEDHAMCOCONSPIRATOR

Your strongest voice and your biggest champion. I favor action and value planning. I can be a contributor, I can be a leader, and I can be a partner. I am a producer, I am a connector, and I am a problem-solver.

ABOUT ME

At the root of everything I do is a desire to make wonderful things that will be enjoyed by the people they help. I’m a problem-solver by trade; a thinker and a maker at heart. I am driven by great ideas and I am never more excited than when a new idea is taking shape and I have a chance to help bring it to life or make it better. My goal is to find opportnities where I can create great things, impact people’s lives and tell the story behind it all.

NOTABLE EXPERIENCE

I have deep experience in the technology entrepreneurship space. Aside from my current role at Tampa Bay Wave, I have served on their board, am a member of their mentor network and have been a part of the Tampa Bay startup community for more than many years. I have been involved with StartupBus since 2012 having won second place that year with BumperCrop and was the Southeast Bus Conductor in 2015.

One of my proudest accomplishments is being the fonding chairman of the Mobilize student advertising competition at 22squared. Now in its fifth year, this competition has grown to be a mainstay in the lives of advertising and communication students throughout the Southeast.

EDUCATION & AWARDS

I see education as a constant practice. My college experience inspired me to pursue a lifetime of continual learning. I hold several certifcations in digital and web-technologies and am currently pursuing certifications in Scrum methodologies. I also take the opportunity to learn new ways of thinking and problem solving like completing The Dali Innovation Lab Problem Solving Bootcamp.

Additionally, I am both proud and humbled to have been honored with several Addys and Effies throughout my career as an advertsing producer.
